The Austrian Empire was not a colonial power in the sense that
fellow actors like 19th-century England and France were. It
nevertheless oversaw a multinational federation where the capital
of Vienna was unmistakably linked with its eastern periphery in a
quasi-colonial arrangement that inevitably shaped the cultural and
intellectual life of the Habsburg Empire. This was particularly
evident in the era's colonial utopian writing, and Tropics of
Vienna blends literary criticism, cultural theory, and historical
analysis to illuminate this curious genre. By analyzing the works
of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Theodor Herzl, Joseph Roth, and other
representative Austrian writers, it reveals a shared longing for
alternative social and spatial configurations beyond the concept of
the "nation-state" prevalent at the time.
